- mickeyp 5y agoI remember it was nearly impossible to download the free version of RealPlayer back in the late 90s. They'd do everything they could to hide the link or obscure its location in an attempt to upsell you. Funny that the beeb would rely on the free one, too!
- dylan604 5y agoToday, many many things in online video related "things" rely on code released by the beeb, so at least they gave back!
